The 49ers bet on Mykel Williams’ upside in the 2025 NFL Draft, and one new teammate expects the gamble to pay off.
The 49ers are yet to even go through a full padded practice, but there are already extremely high expectations for their top draft pick Mykel Williams.
San Francisco selected Williams 11th overall in large part for his ability to dominate in the run game, while also backing him to make the necessary progress as a pass rusher after a college...
The San Francisco 49ers have been linked to several cornerbacks this offseason after losing Charvarius Ward to the Indianapolis Colts in free agency. While the team appears confident with Deommodore Lenoir and second-year corner Renardo Green as starters, it plans to let training camp competition determine the third cornerback.

The Niners brought back their esteemed defensive coordinator for 2025.
The San Francisco 49ers have had a relatively quiet offseason in comparison to past years. They didn’t make any major free agency moves. They extended their key players before organized team activities (OTAs). They focused heavily on the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting 11 players.
Really, the biggest move they made this offseason was bringing back Robert Saleh as their defensive...
The San Francisco 49ers have significant salary cap flexibility heading into 2025, with an estimated $45.7 million surplus—the second most in the NFL. However, much of that space is earmarked for the future now that quarterback Brock Purdy is among the league's highest-paid players.
There's plenty of trash-talking on an NFL field, as players try to get into their opponents' heads to throw them off their game. In a sport decided by inches, any mental edge can prove crucial.

The 49ers have been well-represented in the Pro Bowl under Kyle Shanahan. Will they have any first-timers this season?
During their 2024 Super Bowl run, the San Francisco 49ers had a whopping nine players selected, including a host of others named as alternates. The 49ers weren’t nearly as well-represented during last year’s Pro Bowl. Nick Bosa, Kyle Juszczyk, George Kittle, and Fred Warner represented the team, although four...
The Philadelphia Eagles gave up on Bryce Huff after just one season, unable to get the same production out of the defensive end that he showcased during his final year with the New York Jets.
The San Francisco 49ers secured their quarterback of the future this offseason, signing Brock Purdy to a five-year, $265 million contract extension—the largest deal in franchise history.

Why 49ers’ George Kittle will use friend’s cast-off clubs in Tahoe golf tourney debut (paywall)
“Kittle chatted with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, another tournament regular who shared some blunt advice: Have a few drinks before teeing off, to calm down any nerves. That might not work, based on Kittle’s comments Tuesday.
“My anxiety couldn’t be any higher,” he said. “I’ve...
The San Francisco 49ers chose to give Brock Purdy what the kids call "the bag" with a massive contract extension this offseason. Whether or not he lives up to that massive price tag will play a major role in how successful the team has in 2025 and beyond.
When San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy finds himself in trouble, all he needs to do is look for Jauan Jennings. The veteran wide receiver has established himself as a clutch offensive weapon for the 49ers, with a knack for helping his quarterback escape tough situations.
At the start of every offseason, NFL organizations must decide which of their pending free agents or players entering their contract year the team will attempt to re-sign before free agency begins, test the market but hope to re-sign later, and which to let walk.
The San Francisco 49ers overhauled their roster this offseason, parting ways with several high-priced veterans and replacing them with more cost-effective rookies.
Pro Football Talk notes that the San Francisco 49ers currently hold a slight betting edge to win the NFC West in 2025, which would guarantee a playoff spot.

Breaking down the 90 players on the 49ers’ offseason roster in 90 posts (over 90 or so days). Today is DT Alfred Collins
It shouldn’t have come as a shock that the San Francisco 49ers doubled down on defensive linemen to start the 2025 NFL Draft after letting three starters walk this offseason. Still, Alfred Collins from the University of Texas wasn’t a name that would pop up in mock drafts or top 50 rankings in general.
The former Longhorn...
Welcome to the wild, wild, NFC West. Who ultimately claims this division is anyone's guess, as there appears to be plenty of momentum for each of the four franchises to call the NFC West home this offseason.

The 49ers quarterback has been the subject of quite a number of controversial takes this offseason.
When it comes to the San Francisco 49ers, the biggest talking point this offseason has been quarterback Brock Purdy, who was extended on a massive five-year, $265 million deal back in May.
Purdy, 25, had finished three seasons in the NFL and his second as a full-time starter, throwing for 3,864 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions as the 49ers went just...
